The concept of “peace zones” was first introduced in 1947 through UNSC Resolution 181 to promote peace in Jerusalem. Since then, the United Nations has engaged dozens of peacekeeping missions through the development of international coalitions for stability, addressing crises of military proportions, humanitarian, volatile conflicts and major natural disasters. Over time, as conflicts deteriorate, large territories are designated to promote advancement, such as industrial zones for trade, production, and resulting economic growth which facilitates strength in diplomacy between neighboring nations.

We invite experts and scholars to discuss the development of designated territories for the sake of promoting stability both in-country and between nations, and will review current prospects for advancing peace.
